New Princess Talanji Cutscene - Battle for Azeroth (Spoilers)

Battle for Azeroth build 26734 adds a cutscene involving Princess Talanji. Story spoilers.\r\r\r\rIn this cutscene, the spirit of Vol'jin gives Talanji advice, inspiring her to address the crowd of Zandalari citizens.\r\rSpirit of Vol'jin: Show dem, leader of Zandalar. Show da blade to those dat need to see it da most. Give dem peace.\rTalanji: Dis was not my achievement.\rVol'jin: Ya brought de champion to dese shores against ya father's will. Ya learned da secrets of G'huun when no one be listenin'.\rYa set in motion what be needed ta save ya people. Now, more than ever, dey be callin' for a leader dey can love and trust.\rShow dem da blade. Become da symbol dey need.\rTalanji: Behold de blood of G'huun. By his will were borne de deaths of Shadra, Hi'reek, Torga, and ...and Rezan.\rTalanji: By his will were borne de deaths of so many of our brothers and sisters.\rTalanji: Let dis glaive be displayed as a reminder dat no matter how far we fall, no matter how much we lose, we are Zandalari! We adapt, we find a way to survive!\rTalanji: If it were not for dis hero of de Horde, our losses would have been far worse. Dis proves, more than ever, dat it is time for us to adapt, to become part of de world again.\rTalanji: Zandalar forever!\r\rWe are not sure where this cutscene takes place. While Talanji ends this cutscene with the rallying cry of "Zandalar Forever" and there is a scenario called "Zandalar Forever," the missing cutscene in that piece of content addresses King Rastakhan defeating Zul.\r\rThis cutscene appears to take place in a later chapter in the story after G'huun, the final boss of Uldir, is defeated. The file name of the cutscene is "8.0 Darkspear Ch 2 - - Leader - ZTO," implying this takes place after the initial storyline. So far on the beta, we have not encountered Vol'jin at all, so there's still a lot of story before we get to a point where his spirit is advising Talanji. There's also suspiciously no sign of King Rastakhan, who agreed to a deal with Bwonsamdi, the loa of death, earlier in the Zandalari storyline.\r\rWe've datamined some other broadcast text related to Talanji bringing Vol'jin's ashes to rest in the most honored place for Zandalari royalty.\r\rWe come bearin' da ashes of Vol'jin, son of Sen'jin, ta be honored in dis sacred place.\t\rI will bless the civilians.\rVol'jin made a deal wit' Bwonsamdi ta defeat da powerful Zalazane.\t\rWhen Zandalar tried ta unite da troll tribes, Vol'jin chose da safety of his people over da prophet's dark powers.\t\rAt de time, Zul's vision of a grand troll empire was very tempting to my father. I must commend your chieftain for seeing de bigger picture.\rWhen it be clear dat our warchief, Garrosh, be unwillin' ta lead wit' honor, Vol'jin led da rebellion ta depose da warmonger.\t\rIt is a hard thing to do what your leaders will not.\rDe right to enter is yours. Let it be known dat I find Vol'jin, son of Sen'jin, worthy of dese sacred tombs. Though to enter Atal'Dazar, you may need to fight. I recommend de champion be de one to carry dese ashes to dere final resting place.\r\rTalanji:\tVol'jin, son of Sen'jin, hear de voices of your friends and family. Dey are wondering where you are. \rVol'jin: Loss...\rMaster Gadrin: I be hearin' him!\t\rTalanji:\tHush.\rVol'jin: Loss... Loss. So much loss. So many without guidance. So many without justice. Dere hope be taken by G'huun.\rTalanji: Vol'jin, can you hear us? Reveal yourself, spirit.\r\rIf you'd like to learn more about the Zandalari storyline, including the betrayal of King Rastakhan and the dark allegiances of Zul, check out our Battle for Azeroth Lore Overview.\r\rCheck out our build 26734 coverage:\r\rPrincess Talanji Cutscene (Spoilers)\rMag'har Orc Recruitment Scenario Updates (Spoilers)\rBurning of Teldrassil Playthrough\rNew Items - Pigman Food, Candle and Vrykul Helms, Fish Weapon\rIsland Expedition Pet Rewards including a Kakapo\rNew Achievements including Island Expeditions\rClass and Azerite Traits including Traits for Uldir\rStrings and Credit Screen Art

I hope everything is alright with Rastakhan.Let's not kid ourselves, he's probably gonna get killed off, they wouldn't be pushing Talanji on us so hard if this wasn't the case. Blizzard's storytelling is extremely predictable, when they push the son or the daughter as a character it usually results in the parent dying. I'd love to be wrong honestly, but I doubt I am.

I wish we could speak with vol'jin's spirit ourselves.

I'd say to him: "yo' mah bruddah, I'm not sure your replacement is working out mon. Are ya SURE the Loa told you she was da best choice for da horde? Can ya.....double-check on that again? Pretty please?

Really would like to see them get cinematics instead of machinima, since the animations being played in really unfitting ways is just silly. The lack of cheering and the croaks of the frogs really didn't help to make this sound that empowering.\r\rMore importantly though, that glaive looked like the Daedric Crescent from Morrowind. I want it.

So, it's the end of epic cinematics during the expansion?\r\rWell, poop.

Poor Loa, but good thing they won't stay dead permanently.\r\rI'm still mad that Vol'jin never was part of a great cinematic, except for his death and apart from that only cutscenes. Even in Legion he wasn't part of anything. Varian and Sylvanas were both present in the cinematic and even the goddamn loading screens.\rStill hope that Vol'jin will make an appearance in flesh again. And even if his body was burned, just give him a new one. Like Mandokir. If Rastakhan dies maybe put ol' Vol'jins Soul in there? Ah well.. One can dream.\r\r'Zandalar forever' sounds so damn whack. #$%^ing Black Panther reference. I cringe everytime. Why not scream ''Glory to Zandalar'' or something like that instead?

So, maybe he won't die, but he won't be able to lead the Zandalari and will pass the crown to Talanji.

for me it seems like that Cutscene could lead into Patch 8.1 and us unlocking Zandalar as an Allied Race. It really feels like it is one Szene that literarely tells us "we will be part of the World again" part of the HORDE

"With all due respect Princess Talanji, What can a nation of farmers have to offer the rest of the world?
